I think Bismarck and Century have the best student sections by far. I think atmosphere in nearly all gyms are adequately even. Overall, I don't think it benefits teams all that much at the high school level. But a little can always change a game.

You guys are missing the BIGGEST home court advantage of all. BHS each year playing in the Civic Center during WDA. Number 2 would be Mandan's Boys at home- I don't think they have lost in 3 years at home.

Another win at the Civic Center for the Demons last night over Mandan. I am not 100% sure on this but estimate that they are 44-2 in the Civic Center since 2005. The only team with a better record in the Civic Center might be Mandan's girls.

I would assume Bismarck's record would be better than Mandan's, because Mandan lost 2 games at state in the Civic Center last year, and I am fairly sure that I remember either Century or Bismarck beating them at the Civic Center since 2005.

I think Mandan girls lost 3 at the CC last year (cant remember a regular season game so maybe 4); at least 2 in 2009, and at least 1 in 2008.

Please correct me if I am wrong, but during Amundson's last year alone, he for sure lost at least twice at the Civic Center. He lost to BHS during the season, and then to Century for the WDA championship. The year before that (when Finley was a senior) they entered the State tourney as the 2nd seed out of the WDA but went on to win State. They had lost to BHS for the WDA championship.

Since thie thread is boys home court I would say st marys and bhs tie for the best student section but mandan is the toughest place as all the fans get rowdy and are into the game supporting their team

But if you are playing in a dead atmosphere it is a little tougher to play with the emotion that sets some teams apart from others. Have you ever been to either GF high gyms? Nobody goes to the games you can hear a pin drop most of the game. The visiting crowd usually out numbers the home crowd.
